Not just Nazis. Sometimes Hindu, Buddhist and Jains, too. And then there are those like me, white, Western Dharmicish folks who will not use it, or defend it, but know about it's uses pretty intimately, and get nervous whenever the conversation comes up, because so not a Nazi
Fucking Nazis ruin everything they touch
Fair, but, like, do down votes actually matter on lemmy? Or, y'know, anywhere else for that matter? I'm not really bothered. I brought joy to a few people who thought it was funny. Lol.
Them's is ominous minimonoliths. They're ominous. Listen closely and there's an intense humming noise that conjures images of the vague concept of mortality.
Liberals trust the government. Leftists do not.
Make the jump, my friend. I did it. This was my reddit name, but I've slowly madethis my name basically everywhere, and it's so nice not having to remember usernames.
Behind a paywall. Anyone gotta different link?
Reminds me of Ferengi. I've used the word, obviously, but I have such a strong association of the word with the way the Ferengi on star trek say it, that even when talking about plumbing or electrical sockets, I feel sort of gross saying the word. It just feels disrespectful. :/
You're a good person. Thank you.
If you get one, will you ping me? Lol
Exactly. I found it, she sold it. We flipped s lot of cool stuff, including a vintage chester Cheeto sign, a Budweiser mirror from a bar. Bunch of stuff.

My mom sold on eBay in the early 2000s. Spent my formative years in thrift shops. Found a small balsa wood merry go round that had a fan at the top. Burn a candle, blades spun, horses went around. It was hand made, and she sold it for like 500 dollars. We paid a buck for it.
To my knowledge the federation is completely post monetary. But, we do see individual people who in it that use money. Riker mentioned a few times owing debts or being owed debts from card games and the like, iirc. I think it's largely a personal choice, as money is unnecessary in their society. Nothing that matters has a monetary cost, like shelter, food, etc. And luxuries within the federation itself seem to also be free at the point of use, but I think there is some kind of credit system in use. Sisko mentions using up a months worth of transporter credits to come home for dinner during his time at the academy, if I'm remembering right.
Given the whole schtick of being a post capitalist, but not quite fully communist, society that the franchise has, combined with my personal knowledge of various socialist ideas around transitionary societies, my best guess is that they function off a form of labor voucher. Non transferable credits to be used for whatever goods are restricted or scarce. But with some kind of loophole around the transferability when it comes to dealing with non federation members who still use money.
